September 5th, 2008 05:57 PM #1Hi guys, I bought a second hand 98 trooper (lotus). I've had it for the last three weeks. Everything's ok. Performance is as expected, except having my EGR blanked (all it took were too bearings to block the suction from the EGR... thanks Denso), all is actually well.
I noticed that the stock lights I had was not too bright, so I had a couple of osrams 100w installed. It got better but still comparing to other cars, it was still not enough. I don't have front tints but it looks like my windshield is a little smoked so it doesn't help as well.
Anyway, I've thought of having an HID conversion. My friend told me that I won't benefit much from it since my headlights are frosted. Is it true? I'm sure there are a couple trooper owners out there that has converted theirs already. I would appreciate if you can share me your thoughts and experience.

tama yung friend mo. sobrang kalat ng ilaw kasi frosted sya. instead of HID, mag 100/90W ka nalang na all weather.. o kaya pa cleaning mo rin yung headlights mo.
Naka Trooper din ako (2003 Skyroof) dapat kakabitan ko sya ng HID pero sinabihan ako nung friend ko na may Trooper w/ HID na wag na kasi sobrang hirap daw at hindi masyadong naka focus sa road yung ilaw. sabi rin sa akin nung nagkabit ng all weather ko na "kung bebentahan kita ng HID, malaki kikitain ko.. pero babalik ka dahil wala kang makita sa gabi.. at H4 type ang pinaka sabog na HID"

September 5th, 2008 06:20 PM #3Thanks sir for the reply. I've tried searching for a crystal version for our headlights or baka may nagrereplace ng glass niya kaya and convert them to a crystal.
Ano brand ng 100/90w na all weather niyo? I've gotten Osram, ok naman pero .. di pa din ganun ka liwanag eh.

September 5th, 2008 06:12 PM #7correction .. looks more like my trooper is a 92-97 model. It has a 4jg2 engine.
I, for one, cannot wait for the car manufacturers to ditch the dealership model and follow the...
